Abstract |
This report is the latest in a series published by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) describing the national municipal solid waste (MSW) stream. The report characterizes the national solid waste stream for 1996. It also discusses trends and highlights changes that have occurred over the years, both in the types of wastes generated and in the ways they are managed. This report includes information on: Total MSW generation, recovery, and discards from 1960 to 1996; Per capita generation and discard rates; Materials (e.g., paper, glass, metals, plastic) that comprise MSW, as well as products (e.g., durable and nondurable goods, containers, packaging) found in the waste stream; Aggregate data on the infrastructure for MSW management, including estimates of the number of curbside recycling programs, drop-off centers, materials recovery facilities, and composting programs in the United States; Trends in MSW management from 1960 to 1996, including source reduction, recovery for recycling (including composting), and disposal via combustion and landfilling; and markets for major recovered materials (paper and paperboard, container glass, aluminum cans, steel in cans and appliances, PET and HDPE plastics, and compost). |
